USA

Can you please explain why the rich get richer and they steal more from the poor? This is an honest question...I would love to hear an answer for...as I am a legal US citizen that is able to vote...and it would be great for us to understand this. This is information I have found on the internet and have found it to be true. MEDICARE PREMIUM INCREASE For those of you who are on Medicare, read the article below. It is about the monthly amount of money you are going to pay in Medicare premiums in 2011, 2012 and the huge increase you will pay in 2013. It's a short but important article. Congress will not allow an increase in the social security COLA (cost of living adjustment); however, the per person monthly Medicare insurance premium will be increased from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to $104.20 in 2012, $120.20 for the year 2013 AND increases to a wonderful $247.00 in 2014. Thank You Obamacare! Congress also gave themselves a $3,000 a month Cost of Living Adjustment! Send this to all seniors that you know. WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER 2012 Just think a moment...cut congress and your income by 1/4 each...then congress can pay taxes, health care, gym memberships and SSI like most people do, if they want to receive it...but you always cut elderly, disabled and schools...the ones who need it most get chopped...while the rich get richer... Sorry many of us feel you are destroying America, and what our founders have created for us.

Mr. Barack Obama, Please please stop your support for the Slaughter and genocide against the peaceful people in Bahrain, please stop your support for the tyrants and murder regime in Bahrain and Saudia. We consider your silence on this criminal behavior from the tyrannical regime as support for them.

Excellency the President of the United States of America.Oppressed by so much violence in El Salvador I write, if possible a space in your greatnation in which to develop and work like all honest citizens of their country, we do notremain victims of crime that overcomes us at every moment, fear and insecurity does not permit us to live in peace, I pray for their nation, as we ask that there areopportunities for our families.  Thanking for your kind attention, I subscribe.Very carefully.

President Obama, We still have a ways to go before everyone in this country can be considered equal - at least legally. Thank you for continuing to fight for justice for all of your citizens. Everyone deserves a chance to participate in this country and I am glad you feel the same way. Thank you again!Best, AlanDecatur, GA

Dear Mr.President,    My name is Vasyl Porkhun. I am writing from Ukraine. I am doing it to ask You to help my family and I immigrate to the USA. I am 45 and mu wife is 43, and we can't see any opportunity  to live in Ukraine. After Yanukovich and his "gang-team" had obtained the power, we  lost the last hope of changes to better life. Now Ukraine is no longer a democratic society. And we can't see any free future for us and our 2 children .    I have always known that the United States has been the Bulkwark of Democracy and Peace , where one can find great opportunities to develop oneself and the country. My wife and I both speak and write English well. Our children speak English well too. We are both teachers of English, but it does not mean we would not be able to perform other kind of job. 3 years of serving in Navy Fleet and way of living in Ukraine have been making me do universal jobs -to be a mason, a driver, a welder, an electrician, a sales supervisor. So, I am sure we won't  be "an extra burden" for your country as other illeagal refugees. On contrary, we will be benefitial for your society. Finishing my letter I'd like to thank you for your time to read it. I strongly hope you will be able to assist us to move to the USA. God bless You and God bless the USA! I am looking forward to hearing from You soon. Best regards, Vasyl Porkhun, Ukraine, Khmelnytsky    

Dear Barack Obama, I'm writing to you to get posiitive answer. I'm not US-citizen, but I would like to be. Now, I'm only 16, just finished school in my country, and I want to know, how can I go to the USA? Being in the USA is my dream, and I'm sure, the USA is the best country, of course it is better than Ukraine, where I live now.  

DEAR MR PRESIDENT, PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION ABOUT THE AFGHAN. WAR AND IRAQ TOO.  THE AFGHAN WAR IS HOPELESS AND YOU MUST RECONSIDER THIS SURGE AND INSTEAD PULL OUT OF AFGHAN.  YOU SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER TO RECONSIDER THIS WAR.  HOW MANY WILL BE DEAD BY THEN?  WE CANNOT CHANGE THEIR GOVERNMENT NOR ARE THE AFGHAN PEOPLE COMMITTED TO OUR GOALS AND KARZI IS CORRUPT.  PLEASE STOP OUR MILITARY FROM GOING INTO OTHER COUNTRIES AND TRYING TO CHANGE THEIR GOVERNMENT.  CLOSE OUR BORDERS AND TAKE CARE OF OUR COUNTRY.  THANK YOU, THE KLOCK'S

Mr. President Obama Barack,I'm a Democrat from Arizona. I voted for you because I have same beliefs as yours and believe in you; We can Change.  Unfortunately, I am disappointed, hurt, and angry that you seem to be on other side against us, Arizona-Americans; Illegal immigrates.I welcome immigrates to our beloved Arizona as well as America, however, they have to come through FRONT DOOR with proper channels, NOT back door from under the fence.The illegal has cost us a fortune and are able to take control financially, obtain government assistances and ownership of things at our expenses without difficulty!! WHY?!   Example one:My niece (AMERICAN) is not qualified for government medical coverage for her two children! Because she made few dollars over the guideline, yet illegals were and are able to obtain coverage for their children with NO problem.Example two:My family member (AMERICAN) with disabilities and mental illness could barely survive on her own with SMALL monthly dollar amount of monthly income from government, yet she is not qualified for other assistance. BUT the illegals gets more in dollar amount and qualified for the entire assistances!!  WHY?!Example three:My same niece drove a car on one way street and she got hit head-on from another car in wrong direction. My niece received a broken nose, along with her friend that suffered injury to her back and required physical therapy. I do not remember if she has laceration on her face, and the car that belongs to her mother was totaled.  Oh, that's not all ... The driver and passenger threw out beer bottles and took off.  Guess where they went? Revolving door to Mexico! They were illegals.  Guess who had to pay the price of medical, damages, and the loss of vehicle ? My sister.Example four:WHY do we have to read Spanish language on the upper section and English in the lower section of printed materials?! WHY?!   Isn't our beautiful America's primary language; English?There are more examples to list...Mr. President Obama Barack, some of us are aware that things takes time but we MUST take back our Country!  Starting with FOCUS on AMERICANS FIRST and welcome immigrates that walks across our border at the front door!Here is a copied and pasted from a forwarding e-mail and is a perfect example of why Arizona SB 1070 is needed. Better yet, make your home here in Arizona and feel our frustrations. Mr. President, again, your and respected government in Capitols' help to make the major modifications with the ILLEGAL immigration is VERY, VERY much needed!   Thank you. -------------------------Copied and pasted from forwarding e-mail below----------------------- Reading this little note on illegal immigration and how it has impacted the economy in California.... written by an ESL teacher who is frapping fed up!900 teachers just got laid off from the Los Angeles Unified School District. They are $650,000 over their annual budget. The following English teacher helps to explain one area that looms large over California's educational crisis. Cheap Tomatoes I hope each person receiving this mail will read it carefully all the way to the end. It is sad what is happening to our great country all because our politicians are afraid they will miss out on a vote. What a travesty!Cheap Tomatoes THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE.   This English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen yet. CHEAP TOMATOES?This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent From a California school teacher - - - "As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levelsMost of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens , Huntington Park , etc.., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools. Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for theunwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losingfunding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America ..(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less than 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas" (whores ) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears. Free medical, free education, free food, day care, etc., etc, etc.  Is it any wonder they feel entitled not only to be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs. Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes. Americans, We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return? It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an  American culture that has become so weak and worried about "political correctness " that we don't have the will to do anything about it.If this makes your  blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know including your Congressmen and Senators. CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage. Consumers don't want expensive produce. Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a  myth ,  a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor." Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for$5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents,  he pays no  income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return,  he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free. He qualifies for  Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.He qualifies for  food stamps..He qualifies for  free (no deductible), no co-pay) health care.His  children get free breakfasts and lunches at school. He  requires bilingual teachers and books.He  qualifies for relief from high energy bills...If  they are or become, aged, blind or disabled , they qualify for SSI.  Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare .   All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense . He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.Taxpayers provide  Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits. Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills AND his. The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up. Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT!  Wake up people! THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. 'AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!' THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE AMEN!!! Read more about Illegal Immigration in Arizona and forwarding e-mail

Too difficult to send a note to you.  I am sure you have blocked that somehow.  Enough is enough and you should never take away national day of prayer.  That is going way over the edge.
